Leftists use Earth day to advance their big-government agenda. Most environmentalists believe the use of government force is the only way to solve environmental problems.

Your club can encourage rational debate on environmental issues by directly confronting doom-and-gloomers and those duped by their claims.

Many campuses celebrate Earth Day and schedule an Earth Day Fair consisting of tables sponsored by other "earth friendly" organizations, music, and other forms of entertainment. Your school’s student-run environmental group usually spearheads this event.

Your club should contact the sponsoring organization and ask if information tables are available. If so, reserve one for your group. Distribute fliers provided below and other materials. We can also help you schedule speakers such as Christopher Horner, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism and Red Hot Lies to expose the global warming mythology.

Readers' Comments

Every so often you post an article that's ostensibly about saving the earth, but then turns out to be about bashing environmentalists and leftists.
Mr. Coyle. Could you list, on this website, one earth-friendly initiative that YAF supports? I'd even accept something as tired and ineffective as "voluntarily turning of lights." Notice how I used the word, "voluntarily," so that there would be no way to confuse that with the creation of a hugely expensive and highly bureaucratic Department of Turning of Lights.

Simon, Have you ever been by the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C. at night or on the weekend? They keep all of their lights on.

Beware of Environmental Extremists! We are not safe as long as the Conservation Radical activists are out there.
In Pennsylvania, the Enviro-extremists are being called "enviro-terrorists" for targeting energy companies. In fact, the FBI warned that these groups are trying to pressure companies by their activism activities. There have been vandalism efforts.
In Virginia, the environmental extremists have taken over like a devastating pandemic that is robbing Virginia of jobs, security and freedom from dependence on foreign nations for energy.

Hi all;
I think you're partly asking the wrong question - what is the acceptable rate of responses to Dev Center questions? 90%?
